Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 223:

Bria’s brief moment of complacency quickly evaporated. As their car exited the hospital’s underground garage, it was abruptly blocked by two BMWs.

The men who emerged from the vehicles were familiar figures to Bria. She recognized them instantly as the ones who worked for Ewing.

After exchanging a few words with the men, the driver turned to Bria with a look of resignation and informed her, “Miss Nixon, these gentlemen work for Mr. Ewing Nixon. They insist Mr. Nixon wishes to speak with you and requests that you join him in his car.”

Casting a discreet glance at Kallie, who sat beside her, Bria responded in a frosty, decisive tone, “Inform them I’m unwell and wish to return home to rest.”

The driver relayed Bria’s message. However, one of the men approached their car, tapping insistently on the window.

Containing her frustration, Bria rolled down the window and forced a tight smile. “Is my message not clear?”

The man maintained his composure and politely replied, “Miss Nixon, we’re only here to deliver Mr. Nixon’s message. Please, make it easy for us.”

His companion added, “Mr. Nixon is concerned about your well-being. It’s risky for you to be on your own in the city. He’d prefer you stay at his place, where he can ensure your safety.”

Bria’s expression soured. As they had matured, Ewing had grown noticeably distant from her. Without their tenuous link as cousins, it was doubtful they would communicate at all. When had he started caring so much about her?

Fearing Kallie’s existence being exposed, Bria was naturally reluctant. “Living together with Ewing would be awkward. Despite being relatives, the boundaries between a man and a woman remain, so I’d prefer not to,” she said.

The man, having predicted her reluctance, responded promptly, “Don’t fret. Mr. Nixon owns a spacious estate here, complete with top-notch doctors for you. Moreover, Mr. Nixon intends to transfer your medical team from Ferelden here, ensuring your health is monitored at all times. Since Mr. Nixon has to continue searching for your cousin, he’ll need to extend his stay. He would worry if you returned alone.”

The statement was solid, leaving Bria no room to argue.

With a slight clench of her teeth, Bria realized that any further objections might arouse Ewing’s suspicion. She hoped his concerns were genuine.
